BSOD DPC watchdog violation error

Question

Hello everyone, my laptop keeps freezing and showing the BSOD dpc watchdog violation error. I tried to update my hard drive firmware but it didn't help. I have also tried to open the dump files but obviously wasn't able to understand anything! I attached
the latest generated dump file. There's also another dump file was generated called
MEMORY in C:\windows.

Thanks very much Andre for your fast response. I requested the Hotfix file and while installing it told me that the update is not applicable to my computer. When I requested the Hotfix, there's only one file shows up for Windows 8 RTM but I have Windows
8 Pro! I was wondering if there's any other solution.

Also, last time and the only time I tried to install windows updates, it took forever after the first restart and I think it froze, I canceled the update and since that time I turned off windows updates. Do you think windows updates may help?
